You view things through a > physics lens and I view things through computer science lens. Let me understand. You are seriously suggesting that viewing physics through a computer science lens is as valid as viewing physics through a physics lens? By definition, a particle is pointline. When it exhibits behavior that is not pointlike, it must be treated in another manner (e.g. rigid body). By definition, a wave is spread over a volumn. These are mutually contradicting. Dan M.
